And YOU, A.Patterson, never seem to have heard of, what progress is.
YouŽd better give that girl a helping hand.
As a farmer and consultant i agree that farmers do not tend to through
things away unless they find any use or value in that item.
But: Why not think and investigate how to improve our habits? We all must
think over our consumption to use less resources, this does not
exclude farmers! 
And: Having "a scrap heap somewhere around a farm" does not 
already mean to be a good recycler.
Excuse my bad english.
